Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Well first, that's not really Obama's fault and second, it doesn't really matter when the republicans know they'll have a House majority soon. If he didn't compromise enough, they could have just stalled until they had a majority.

A) I'm pretty sure I addressed your first point in another post; I agree, this is a senate issue and Obama's involvement is not the main point here

2) Yeah, it was a political shit-kick by the Republicans. The problem is that they're so much better at this than the Democrats.

ix) A compromise in a tax cut gives the Republicans an out should it not spur significant growth. An unpopular Obama says "See I cut taxes!" and the slightly popular Republicans get to say "No you didn't we still had a net raise in taxes! BARRY IS A TAX MAN! BARRY IS A TAX MAN!"

Perceived anonymity can breed creativity, but obviously also make people scream SHITCOCK.
Anonymity and accountability for what you say are very interesting trains of thought, especially now where it has finally reached the political 'elites' that that shit can harm their interests and those of important lobby groups that pay their holiday trips. There's either gonna be a technological switch to more anonymity, or Facebook for everyone in the "WHY BE AFRAID IF YOU GOT NOTHING TO HIDE" sense.

Have people seen this post from 4chan? (it's not inherently offensive though I'll take it down if asked by the mods)

"You COMPLETELY miss the point of 4chan. 4chan is not Fark "oh hay guys i found a cute link ha ha.". 4chan is not Slashdot's pseudo-intellectual discussion. 4chan is not LiveJournal, SuicideGirls, or HotOrNot. 4chan is a place for people to be monsters- the horrible, senseless, uncaring monsters that they really are.

Tsunami owns the Asian continent and we laugh. Psychotic emo takes his sickness out on a cat and we laugh. People mutilate themselves for no apparent reason and we laugh. Suicide, homicide, genocide- we laugh. Racism, sexism, discrimination, xenophobia and baseless hate- we laugh. We are mindless "me-too"ism; we are irrational preference; we are pointless flamewars; we are the true face of the internet." -Anon

I just find it fascinating that someone on 4chan thinks that about 4chan. I don't necessarily agree with it but at the same time I think it's a really interesting view on what happens when you give people anonymity and remove social boundaries.

There's certainly a freedom at 4chan to enjoy black humor--the blackest of humor, really--that you don't get elsewhere.

Usually I really hate the "So edgy." insult, but it really fits here.

I agree that it is overly dramatic, but it still in some ways seems fitting and like I said it more interests me that this guy thought that about 4chan as a place. It's not a brilliant social invention but it is an interest source of internet culture.

Do you keep your alien mask and trenchcoat in the backseat so you're ready if you ever need to protest scientologists, christians, mormons, or basically any other group that you've decided you don't like?

I've never been to 4chan and don't really know what it is beyond "a bad place"

its not shock-image city cry yourself to sleep bad like other chans

its just dumb, like watching a 12 year old scream obscenities and bang pots together

It's no shock images anymore probably because that shit gets old faster than boy bands on an anonymous board. I imagine posting a shock image there will mostly get you the reaction of a connoisseur, "oh, a vintage 2003 last measure"
